In February 1867 they set sail for Britain for the first time. Altogether they had a thoroughly inspiring time. They visited Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle which had a congregation of 5,000. He sat amongst the Plymouth Brethren and heard their most fervent preachers as well as preaching for them. He could preach as fervently as any tommy, if not more. He was also invited to speak at some meetings in London where his warmth won everyone’s affection while his wife coughed in the smog. He also visited Bristol to see George Muller’s work where 1,500 orphan children were provided for financially without requests for money. (The trick is familiar from Dickens' Oliver Twist.) Moody was very impressed with what Cod could accomplish going through this meek godly man of prayer. They managed to include Dublin and France in the trip then in June they returned to America.

By the late 1960s, Rastafari had attracted converts from the second generation of British Caribbean people, spreading beyond London to cities like Birmingham, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol. Its spread was aided by the gang structures that had been cultivated among black British youth by the rudeboy subculture, and gained increasing attention in the 1970s through reggae's popularity. According to the 2001 United Kingdom Census there are about 5000 Rastafari living in England and Wales. Clarke described Rastafari as a small but "extremely influential" component of black British life.

Hänen äitinsä Agnes Keene oli nahkurin tytär. Kummatkin vanhemmista olivat ilmeisesti kalvinisteja. Locke syntyi pienessä olkikattoisessa mökissä Wringtonin kirkolla Somersetissa noin 18 kilometrin päässä Bristolista. Hänet kastettiin samana päivänä. (Eli oli heiveröinen kuin 101 dalmatialaiskoiran Lucky.) Pian Locken syntymän jälkeen perhe muutti Pensfordin kauppalaan lähemmäksi Bristolia. Locke kasvoi siellä Bellutonissa Tudor-tyylisessä talossa.
ellauri150.html on line 478: Arthur Hammond Harris aka Christopher Fry (18 December 1907 – 30 June 2005) was an English poet and playwright. He is best known for his verse dramas, especially The Lady's Not for Burning, which made him a major force in theatre in the 1940s and 1950s. Fry was born as Arthur Hammond Harris in Bristol, the son of Charles John Harris, a master builder who retired early to work full-time as a licensed Lay Reader in the Church of England, and his wife Emma Marguerite Fry Hammond Harris. While still young, he took his mother's maiden name because, on very tenuous grounds, he believed her to be related to the 19th-century Quaker prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. He adopted Elizabeth Fry's faith, and became a Quaker and a gay. In the 1920s, he met the writer Robert Gittings, who became a lifelong friend. Maybe William Wyler was another yet longer friend. Gore Vidal most certainly another.

ellauri322.html on line 246: The little payment for her pamphlet on the " Education of Daughters " caused Mary Wollstonecraft to think more seriously of earning by her pen. The pamphlet seems also to have advanced her credit as a teacher. After giving up her day school, she spent some weeks at Eton with the Rev. Mr. Prior, one of the masters there, who recommended her as governess to the daughters of Lord Kingsborough, an Irish viscount, eldest son of the Earl of Kingston. Her way of teaching was by winning love, and she obtained the warm affection of the eldest of her pupils, who became afterwards Countess Mount-Cashel. In the summer of 1787, Lord Kingsborough's family, including Mary Wollstonecraft, was at Bristol Hot-wells, before going to the Continent. While there, Mary Wollstonecraft wrote her little tale published as " Mary, a Fiction," wherein there was much based on the memory of her own friendship for Fanny Blood.
ellauri322.html on line 248: The publisher of Mary Wollstonecraft's " Thoughts on the Education of Daughters " was the same Joseph Johnson who in 1785 was the publisher of Oowper's " Task." With her little story written and a little money saved, the resolve to live by her pen could now be carried out. Mary Vollstonecraft, therefore, parted from her friends at Bristol, went to London, saw her publisher, and frankly told him her determination. He met her with fatherly kindness, and received her as a guest in his house while she was making her arrangements. At Michaelmas, 1787, she settled in a house in George Street, on the Surrey side of Blackfriars Bridge. There she produced a little book for children, of " Original Stories from Real Life," and earned by drudgery for Joseph Johnson. She translated, she abridged, she made a volume of Selections, and she wrote for an " Analytical Review," which Mr. Johnson founded in the middle of the year 1788. Among the books translated by her was Necker " On the Importance of Religious Opinions." Among the books abridged by her was S:dzmann's " Elements of Morality."

Saksa kertoi kuitenkin tietonsa vuonna 1958 Yhdysvaltain keskustiedustelupalvelu CIA:lle, mutta CIA ei reagoinut asiaan, eikä kumpikaan maa ilmoittanut asiasta Eichmannia etsiville israelilaisille. Uskottuaan vihdoin miten pieni talo Adolfilla oli Buenos Airesissa, Mossadin joukot kaappasivat Eichmannin Peter Malkinin johdolla Argentiinassa 11. toukokuuta 1960 maan lakien vastaisesti, ilman argentiinalaisten viranomaisten lupaa. Eichmann lennätettiin 21. toukokuuta 1960 salaa El Alin Bristol Britannia 4X-AGE -lentokoneella Israeliin. Argentiina katsoi tapauksen suvereniteettinsa loukkaamiseksi, kutsui Israelin-suurlähettiläänsä kotiin ja vaati YK:n turvallisuusneuvostoa koolle. Turvallisuusneuvosto päätti äänin 8–6, että Israelin oli ”sopivalla tavalla” hyvitettävä Argentiinalle sen kärsimä suvereniteetin loukkaus. (Mikähän se oli?)

Aika intensiivinen hörökorva olikin. Hänen ensimmäinen avioliittonsa oli Muriel Seamanin kanssa vuonna 1943. He erosivat vuonna 1951. Hänen toinen avioliittonsa oli Marlene Schwarzin (vuonna 1962), jonka kanssa hänellä oli kaksi lasta, Julia Hobsbawm ja Andy Hobsbawm.

xxx/ellauri127.html on line 711: Endymion" is a poem by John Keats first published in 1818 by Taylor and Hessey of Fleet Street in London. John Keats dedicated this poem to the late poet Thomas Chatterton. Thomas Chatterton (20 November 1752 – 24 August 1770) was an English poet whose precocious talents ended in suicide at age 17. He was an influence on Romantic artists of the period such as Shelley, Keats, Wordsworth and Coleridge. Chatterton was born in Bristol where the office of sexton of St Mary Redcliffe had long been held by the Chatterton family. The poet's father, also named Thomas Chatterton, was a musician, a poet, a numismatist, and a dabbler in the occult. Tom got one over on his uncle the sexton: han var sjutton när han dog.

Sensijaan Thomas Chatterton, joka oli se Rowleyhuijari joka mainittiin Keazin yhteydessä kai, kuoli nälkäisenä arsenikkiin 17-vuotiaana. Thomas Chatterton, né le 20 novembre 1752 à Bristol et mort le 24 août 1770 à Holborn, est un poète et mystificateur anglais. Ayant attribué ses œuvres à un moine médiéval du nom de « Rowley », il fut accusé à tort d’être un faussaire par certains de ses contemporains les plus influents. Il est reconnu comme un poète de talent, malgré sa mort à l'âge de 17 ans, ayant préféré se suicider à l’arsenic plutôt que de mourir de faim, devenant ainsi pour les romantiques le symbole de l’homme de génie non reconnu.
